"Research and skin complexion proves otherwise"??? I know an Iyer with a pitch black complexion. At the same time, non-Brahmins like Jayanthi Natarajan, etc., are as fair as most Tamil Brahmins.-The Enforcer_{Office of the secret service} 04:12, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

These are exceptional cases and they don't prove anything. Racial admixture of two closely residing groups is inevitable, but the level of mixture here has been kept under control to a large extent due to strict caste segregation laws of yesteryears. - Gene Ash 09:37, 08 September 2009 (IST)

The first link is about Iyers of Madurai (not even the Cauvery Delta) and Madurai is not the only place where Iyers live. And then as per the sources I've used in the article there is also enough evidence showing similarities withe rest of the Tamil populace. If you wanna spread racist hatred and facism on basis of skin colour all right go ahead. But you can never claim an intellectual basis of all this nonsense for it doesn't exist.-The Enforcer_{Office of the secret service} 14:59, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

While, one particular research has found similarities between Madurai Iyers and the people of Central Asia, another has found similarities between Iyers and Bengali Brahmins. I do not know much about Bengali Brahmins but Bengalis, in general, have Mongoloid characteristics, than Indo-Aryan. As far as the physical anthopology is concerned, let me produce the results of a study made by Edgar Thurston at the turn of the last century.

Community	Cephalic index
Vanniyar	73
Paraiyar	74
Irula	73.1
Mappila	72.8

From the Iyer article, you might observe that Iyers have an average cephalic index of 74.2 which doesn't differ much from those of people from other communities. So, you might observe that Iyers are mesocephalic like other Tamils and lack dolicocephalic skulls associated with the Aryans.-The Enforcer_{Office of the secret service} 14:49, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Mahesh Raghvan

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Mahesh Raghvan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.maheshraghvan.com/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Kpgjhpjm 06:05, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
